special thanks to Maeve Hazel (author) for the beta copy & ARC.
-----
please note: initially i refused to write any type of review—positive or negative—because of the author’s conditions for receiving advance copies she stated in an email prior to its release,
- Reviews under 3.5 stars must be posted 3 weeks AFTER the release
- Reviews above 3.5 stars must be posted by AUGUST 10 and sent to [PR email] OR [author email]. (IF SOMETHING OCCURS AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO REVIEW, EMAIL US, BUT ANY OF THE READERS WHO WON'T REVIEW, WILL BE DELETED FROM OUR LIST, AND THEREFORE, NOT RECEIVE ANY UPCOMING ARCS FROM MAEVE HAZEL)
thankfully, the author retracted that statement and apologized. that is when i decided to post my review and i will not rate it higher.

i’m gonna miss inglewild so much!! it was such a bittersweet feeling the more i read the book because i knew that was it. it was the end.
charlie and nova were so adorable and a perfect story to end the series. i was constantly giggling and swooning throughout the book. it was so full of feels, hilarious, and heartwarming moments of the found family of lovelight farms that i’m going to miss so much.
what a beautiful journey.
charlie milford, you have my whole heart ♡

“All grown-ups were once children... but only few of them remember it.”
wtf reading this for the first time as a full-grown adult made me question why i didn’t read books like this in elementary school. this was such a special little book.

i loved, loved, LOVED nicole stephanie adler. she was such a beautiful, strong, badass fmc. she truly had one of the best redemption arcs ever written by rk. seeing her have everything she ever wanted in her life made my whole heart melt <3
as for daniel… i’m still undecided. don’t know if i want to throttle him or hug him. the only reason i tolerated him in the end was because of his big love confession. that was truly one of rk’s best work.
that being said, for a good 90% of the story, he didn’t deserve her, which pissed me off tremendously. hence the average rating.
usually i hate when it’s a second chance romance and the mmcs sleep with anyone in their vicinity after the mcs split up while the fmc doesn’t but the fmc in this story was valid for abstaining for over a decade. so for the people mad nicole didn’t sleep around in the ~11 years they were apart while daniel was a fuckboy and whoring around, did you not read or empathize that nicole was SA’d by another character? she became deeply traumatized when it came to s3x. rekindling with daniel helped her heal from those triggers and he helped her enjoy s3x again. i think some of y’all don’t truly understand or care about the characters’–explicit and implicit–feelings when reading.
anywho i had to get that off my chest because i saw so many complaints about that in other reviews. anyways rant over, bye.
